Genetics Department Parking Policy

1. The Chairman and Departmental Administrator's permits are assigned first.

2. All remaining permits will be equally assigned to individuals (Faculty/Staff) based on duration of Total State Service. The Department Chair will exercise his/her authority to make adjustments to this policy to ensure all tenured and tenure-track Faculty will have a permit for on campus parking. No tenured or tenure-track faculty will be displaced from an existing assigned space. Staff members and Research Faculty (EPA fixed-term) that are at, or near the bottom of, the department's Total State Service list may be displaced by a tenure-track or tenured Faculty member.

3. In terms of parking assignments, no distinction will be made between Research Faculty (EPA fixed-term) and Staff. Thus the Total State Service rule will apply.

4. Postdoctorals will continue to receive their permits through the Department of Public Safety and not via their home department. Permits are drawn from a lottery and then assigned strictly by Total State Service. If no assignment is made, you can elect to be placed on a waiting list.

5. Students will continue to be eligible to participate in the campus-wide lottery. These permits are assigned directly from the Department of Public Safety. Again, if no assignment is made, you can elect to be placed on a waiting list.
Chapel Hill Transit is fare-free.
